Would you consider selling your kidney to a dying man? How much would you ask?

Lots and lots of people are waiting for organ transplants, the list is very long and it seems there aren't enough fatal car crash to cover the demand.
A rich man approaches you, feels your side and says to you, how much for the kidney son?
What would you say?

If I could survive without it then I would donate it without being greedy and asking for money. I wouldnt pay for the surgery though.

If he wants my extra kidney, he's gonna have to pay $2.5 million
Not worth it to me if I don't get something out of it. If my other kidney fails then I'd be in his situation but broke.

No. I wouldn't donate any of my organs or body parts even if a small child was begging me because they'd end up dying.
These are my body parts you had your chance with yours.

There's always the possibility of surgery failure, so only if I would get quite a sum in return.
I guess it also depends on the relationship I have with the person in question.

I wont even donate anything if I were to unexpectedly die tomorrow, either.
It just doesn't feel right, to me, personally.
Call me selfish, I don't care.
I want to be creamated with all my organs and then sprinkled out in space.

Not a chance.I wonder how badly ones urinary system would be compromised if you donated your kidney and only had one to deal with all the fluids.
Imagine getting renal failure and cutting your life short by a few years just because of caring for someone else.

This is the only reason I wouldn't do it. I would still think about it long and hard though, but I think in the end I would decline. I sure as fuck would charge however much he's willing to pay though.

Because they're still inside my body.

But you aren't going to cut me open dead or alive for the purpose of taking my organs and giving them to someone else.

Not really. You're taking a risk with surgery and he's getting life out of it. A lot of peoples kidneys fail, but we have a backup kidney so even if one does fail, you won't die. You're too naive to think you'll be fine with just one kidney. You're taking a double risk, one with the actual surgery and two if your kidney fails
I'm not going to risk my life for some dude I don't know if I'm not getting something out of it.... surgeries aren't risk free.

This. I'd have to look into the data to get a sense of how detrimental a kidney loss is. However, at the moment I don't think you could pay me enough.
I think for sure your life and quality of life would decrease. Less drinking, eating bacon once you can filter less.

Well if that's what you actually believe in then great. In my opinion though, that's kind of like having demands as to what will happen to your apartment after you move out of it.
